Lao Than Mountain is located in Y Ty Commune, Bat Xat, Lao Cai. The mountain is over 2,800m above sea level. It’s considered to be the “Roof of Y Ty” with fairytale scenery of floating clouds and sunshine. Its name – Lao Than, is very prominent in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province. In addition, the ethnic H’mong groups also call it Hung Pong San.
